Im getting a seibon oem cf hood and i was wondering if i could use the stock grill vent from my stock hood bc i dont like the one it comes with..

edit:Nevermind! The hood im buying has already been modified to use the stock mesh and grill.

 

As far as I know the seibon rain guard/hood vent can't be removed,unless you do some cutting modifications.

I think ive read somewhere that ppl have just moved the stock grill easily. im not talking about the rubber piece on top of the oem hood

 

do u mean this

 

yes, i am also wondering about this...

levo2nr what hood is that? and what did you do to get the stock grill to fit

 

it is the type c hood from seibon
the grill will fit just that u have to make some brackets on the bottom side of the grill
to hold the grill down onto the hood
hope that helps

 

I have the same hood, and I see that it would fit. What brackets did you use? Could you show a picture? I would be very interested in doing this.

Let me know

Looks nice btw

 

well it would be like a custom bracket that u would have to make u cant really buy it
i just used any aluminum sheets laying around my house , cut and drill to what i wanted thats it i didnt really care how it looked on the inside
but if u really want a picture of it i would take one

 

Actually I would really like a picture. WHen it comes to creating things like brackets or other sort of ingenious ideas......I fall flat on my face. I need to visualize it, or see it inperson before I can really tackle the thing.

Thanks for your help for the "shop" impaired.

 

well here u go hope it helps
but dont laugh at me because "it is" a quick fix (ghetto looking)
if u find the right parts and put alittle time into it
it would look alot better than mines

 

Thank you very much. That gives me better ideas. But thank you very much for your help. Too bad we cant put the heat guard on our hoods too. I tried but none of the holes lined up.

 

np

 

What is the bracket held onto the hood with? I see you screwed one side onto the grille, but what are you using to hold the other end of the bracket to the hood?
